Firstly, I’ve been experimenting quite a bit with chalk finish paint to refresh some outdoor furniture before hosting a baby shower. I have found Rustoleum’s Chalked line of spray paint to have the best quality, appearance, and overall texture compared to most other paints. The fact that it’s offered in a spray paint form also makes it less messy and fairly more hassle-free than most all of the other options available also.
I used the Blush Pink shade to refinish this old little side table I use for plants. The table was originally finished in a dark red cherry wood tone but appears to be made from composite materials as it’s very lightweight and the wood finish could be sanded off easily.
I cleaned the table off and then very lightly sanded the shiny sheen off of it where I could, without being too worried about getting it all off and without removing the cherry wood tones. I then sprayed it with three light coats of the paint. If there where any drips or accidentally thick spots of the paint, I hit them with a foam mini paint roller immediately after spraying to incorporate them better. Drying time was very quick- it only took 10-15 mins for each light coat to be dry to the touch, but I still gave each coat about an hour total outside in 77 degree sunshine to dry (probably unnecessary though). I’m ordering the chalked top matte coat to finish off the piece and will probably hit it it with a sealer too before putting it back outside.
However, at this point, I’m very happy with the results! I wanted a subtle shade of pink but was mostly shooting for any kind of boho-looking light-colored chalk finish so I was flexible. This paint goes on very stark white-looking, but then seems to settle into a light pink shade after drying out fully.
It has great coverage, though I did use one whole can on this one table. Still worth the $10 for the end result. Overall, I’d definitely recommend this product!
